	FEATURED: West Kootenay Bouldering Allen Rollin Purchase this book A modern comprehensive guide to local bouldering.
	FEATURED: West Kootenay Rock Guide Aaron Kristansen & Vince Hempsall Published by Wonow Media 2009 Purchase this book Although massively out of date it remains the best printed guide to the area.

	Alpine Select: Climbs in Southwest British Columbia & Northern Washington Kevin McLane, Elaho Publishing Purchase this book As the title lays out, this is a book of select alpine climbs mainly in BC, but also a few in Washington. The book is interesting for being divided into a section covering all of the approaches and another covering all of the climbs. McLane writes to a high standard and this book is no exception. There are some fairly accessible day climbs in here as well as some monsters. Would you believe that there's a 37 pitch rock route only a few hours from Vancouver?
	Scrambles in Southwest British Columbia Matt Gunn Purchase this book A well put together guide to scrambling routes on many BC peaks.
	Central BC Rock Lyle Knight, Elaho Publishing Purchase this book Now a little out-of-date, but still the essential reference for the BC interior areas such as Yak Peak, Kelowna, and all the smaller crags that deserve attention but don't quite have the same draw as Skaha.
